Vitamin C's impact on bloating
We aimed to explore how different measures of vitamin C might influence premenstrual symptoms, particularly bloating. In this study, we analyzed data from 555 women aged 20 to 29 years who reported on various symptoms associated with their menstrual cycles. We looked at their dietary intake of vitamin C, measured serum ascorbic acid levels, and assessed genetic factors through DNA testing.

Our findings suggest that higher vitamin C status is linked to increased appetite changes and symptoms like bloating and swelling during the premenstrual phase. While we observed associations between vitamin C levels and these symptoms, it's important to note that our study didn't isolate the effect of vitamin C from other dietary influences. Therefore, while there's a connection between vitamin C and bloating, we cannot conclusively say that vitamin C alone is definitive in relief.

Overall, this research opens the door to understanding how nutrition, particularly vitamin C intake, may shape our experiences with premenstrual symptoms. However, it also highlights the complexity of diet's role in our health.

No bloating experienced
No more bloating for me. It's much more suitable compared to those that are not non-acidic. I experience no bloating and not a hint of gassiness.

No heartburn or bloating
I'm utterly fed up with it. If I consume many vitamin seeds, I experience heartburn; however, Esther neutralises it, eliminating both heartburn and bloating.

Caused bloating
This vitamin C was ineffective for me. I started experiencing bloating from it; previously, when taking vitamin C from another brand, this was not an issue. Although my friends recommended this supplement and were satisfied, I cannot endorse it.

Increased bloating
Since it is a tablet, it can be split in half. I purchased it for the first time because it's a vitamin C recommended by nutritional therapy. Upon opening the lid, a delightful sweet scent emerges. I have gas type SIBO, but when I take 2000mg of this in the morning and once more at night, I feel as if my intestines have become increasingly bloated, hence I'm now cutting it in half to try. It's in a well-sealed bottle, and the maker's name is embossed on the lid, which is rather charming. By the way, the 500mg product is in capsule form.
